Roger Wilson, a Franklin Township supervisor who is a neighbor of the Reynolds family, helped circulate an e-mail appeal and a petition for Meghan's inclusion that has gathered widespread support and will be presented to the school board tonight, he said."I'm concerned that the district is looking for ways to exclude her rather than be open," Wilson said. "You can't help but have the suspicion that she's being excluded because she won last year and they don't want the competition. It's surprising and disappointing that they don't welcome her participation."
I wish Meghan good luck in whichever bee she winds up participating in. The Scripps National Spelling Bee is sponsored by a non-profit group and allows homeschool participation.
Rumor has it they let her in. When I find a newspaper article to link to I will do another post.
